All lovers knit with needlesPay attention to the beauty and variety of this kind of patterns, like braids, made with spokes. These patterns can look absolutely different. From gentle thin braids to baby's booties to complex, intertwined patterns of Aran knitting. On the basis of the simple principle of crossing the loops, a large number of different types and schemes of knitting were invented.
There are several separate types of these patterns:themselves braids, plaits and arans. They differ not only in appearance and complexity, but also in the technique of execution. But they are all united by one common nuance: when knitting a braid according to a pattern, the loops of the pattern will necessarily intersect.
Figures from braids are obtained dense, textured andvery smart. They are chosen both for knitting baby clothes, and for adult models. In recent years, very popular sets of snuff and hats, connected braids.
When tying out different types of braids, one method is used, the pattern loops are crossed, creating a pattern.
For knitting on any, the most simple scheme of a braidneed a so-called additional spoke. With professional extra spokes, one end is rounded in a loop, which prevents slipping of the removed loops and facilitates work. But if you do not have one, and you want to try it, then you can use a regular spoke or an English pin.
To ensure that the loops of the future spit are not stretched when crossing, the auxiliary spoke is better to choose a number less basic.
To knit a braid pattern with knitting needles, an evennumber of loops. This pattern will be more expressive if you tie a narrow vertical path from the back of the loop (2-5 loops, depending on the width of the braid) along the edges of the braid.
When calculating the consumption of yarn, it must be taken into account thatThe wider the braid, the more it shrinks when the hinges cross, and the more the yarn is consumed. Another quantity of yarn depends on the frequency with which the braids will cross. The more often, the more the thread goes, and vice versa.
If the yarn consumption is large or the fabric is producedtoo dense, this can be slightly corrected, making the frequency of crossing the loops more sparse. In order to find the optimal combination, it is better to link a few control samples and stay on the one you like.
From thick yarn spit turns out very relief.To make the product not very dense, it is better to dilute them with stripes of simple patterns, like facial smoothness or small pearl pattern. Then the beauty of the braid will be visible, and the product will be softer and more comfortable.
If you use knitting needles for knittingthin threads, like mohair or cotton yarn, can be made a solid cloth with small dividing strips. The pattern is stylish and elegant.
In order to learn how to knit braids, it is betterpractice on the simplest scheme. Knitting a braid with knitting needles for beginners may seem incomprehensible and complex. But it's worth starting work, and all the questions will be resolved.
We offer a description of a simple pattern scheme. In order to better see the resulting pattern, it is worth learning from thick yarn and spokes of a suitable diameter.
To knit the sample, type 10 loops (2 looping loops, 4 loops are used in the braid and 2 on each side will emphasize the pattern).
You can slightly change this pattern if leftloops on the auxiliary spoke not before, but at work. Then the braid will not rotate to the left, but to the right. In a continuous canvas of braid can be alternated this simple technique that will make the pattern structure more unusual.
As can be seen from the scheme and description, knitting with braid patterns is absolutely not difficult, the main thing - patience and attentiveness.
Similarly, you can knit wider braids, crossing not 4 loops, but up to 10-14. It is possible and wider, but the wider the braid, the more the edge of the knitted fabric can deform.
Having tried and learned to knit simple braidsknitting needles, you can move on to the more complex ones in carrying out braid schemes. In fact, such simple patterns, in which the loops are crossed only in one direction, are separated into a separate group of braids.
The very term "scythe" implies a pattern in whichcombined weave loops in different directions, can be mixed several combinations of loops. There is one nuance that unites them: unlike aranes, the same number of loops always intersect in the braids.
Very beautiful braids are obtained withknitting a wide strip, for example the pattern "royal braid". It looks very bold on the face or the reverse surface. To knit such a braid, the number of loops must be a multiple of 30. In the purl rows, all the loops are knitted with the wrong side, the pattern is formed only in the front rows.
Repeat from 1 to 11 series.
Such a pattern will look good in the drawing of a warm pullover or a wide snob.
The most difficult in knitting patterns braidsright are considered to be arans. It is known that the beginning of this technique of knitting went from the masters of ancient Ireland. In those days, all these complex interlacing of harnesses, braids and loops had a magical, protective value. Over time, this symbolism disappeared, and the tremendous beauty of this knitting technique continued to evolve.
To date, there are a huge number of braid patterns in the technique of knitting arans. These are very unusual, fascinating patterns, but it is difficult to describe even one of them in a short article.
When knitting arans is not necessary to movethe same number of loops, as when knitting a braid pattern with knitting needles. In this technique, on the purl of the surface (the aranas are always performed on the wrong side), we need to move a different number of loops. In complex schemes, not just loops, but tows and braids, cross each other.
When knitting Arans will need a lot of attention and patience, but the result will be worth it.
The answer to this question will be very simple: almost everything! In products beautiful braids, knitted needles, will look harmonious both on cute children's things, and on a man's pullover.
It will be interesting to get a braided braida set of mittens, hats and scarves for the baby. You just need to pick up a soft bright yarn, choose a pattern scheme and tie things that will warm your baby in the cold winter. And you can also tie a children's blanket or blanket, decorated with thin braids.
Very harmoniously different combinations of braids decoratecardigans, pullovers, blouses. Necessarily cause a slight envy of the opposite long coat, made in the technique of Aran knitting. Or maybe the subject of admiration for acquaintances will be a pullover made of weightless mohair yarn, adorned with intersecting paths of braids. And you can please your beloved man by tying him a warm winter sweater with relief braids.
I would like to single out separately how harmoniouslyuse the knitting pattern of the braid pattern to decorate the house. It can be quite simple things like a set of stitches for the kitchen or a beautiful cover for the decorative pillow. Even very stylish look in the interior of knitted covers on chairs made with relief braids.
And when the cold comes, how pleasant it will be wrapped up in a warm blanket, tied by their own hands with the help of a braid pattern.
The possibility of using these patterns is almost limitless, the main thing is to show a little imagination and patience, then everything will turn out!
